 Yeah, but whether under 5 year and 3 year rules, thru marriage or employer, tax transcript is required

You are mistaken. 

 

Tax transcripts aren't a required document when filing under the five year rule. Every once in a white, someone may be asked for theirs (though it's rare), but it's certainty not "required".

Here's what written on the Naturalizations requirements list . Yeah it's rare that IO will gonna ask but it's clear on the requirements list that it is "required"

Have you reported your income on your income tax forms?

Your tax returns are very important proofthat you are eligible for naturalization. On the day of your interview, bring certified tax returns for the last 5 years (3 years if you are married to a U.S. citizen). Certified tax transcripts may be ordered by using Internal

Revenue Service (IRS) Form 4506-T available at www.irs.gov or calling 1-800-829-1040.

I said I did provide tax transcripts

If OP is still married he will need to provide the marriage documents even if filing under 5yr rule, I wonder why he did not appeal it, if still married, other than pay the fees all over again.

For a normal 5 year filer whose initial LPR status was based on marriage (like my husband's case), the only marital documents that were provided was the marriage certificate, proof of the USC's citizenship status, and previous divorce decree. He brought tax transcripts, but I don't believe they were reviewed.

 

OP's case is quite unique, so we can't predict exactly what he'll need, but it sounds like he'll perhaps want to prepare quite a lot of documentation in case asked for it.

Appeal: $675

Request for a hearing: $700

N400: $725

 

OP’s new 5 yr based application is a good idea especially when OP says “I have provided more than enough” but doesn’t want to declare what he provided.

Agree'd. There's always an issue when a poster says "Well I did more than what they needed" but won't say what they sent.

One big thing people need to understand really fast is it's not about what -they- feel is enough, it's what the IO feels is enough. Things will be a lot easier for a lot of people once that's accepted.

I was just confused, either to submit evidence for my marriage when filing under 5 year or no. I don't want to be the one sent so much documents when not filing under spouse. 

3 year 5 year, makes no difference, they review everything, it all has to ad up. even if you file 10 years from now, they go back to day one, when you came into the country, and how you came into the country.

Tax returns/transcripts aren't required for the initial N-400 submission. It's probably a good idea to bring them to your interview, certainly, but they are rarely reviewed. Mine weren't.
